Ravensthorpe Primary Academy
About Ravensthorpe Primary Academy
Ravensthorpe Primary Academy sits below the Peterborough local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 51% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 59%. That places the school 36th out of 53 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half of local state primaries. The gap is notable, but the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 67% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 63% in writing, while reading was slightly lower at 60%. Only 2% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and just 11% reached the higher bar in maths. The school’s ranking in the East of England region is similarly middling, at 1152nd out of 1612 primary schools. For context, the nearest outstanding-rated school is Fulbridge Academy, 1.2 kilometres away, and the LA has only four outstanding primaries in total.
